Zon snorted. “I assume a pretty big one if you were desperate enough and created enough energy to will us here. That’s no small feat, even for someone well versed in magic.”
“Yeah, well. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?” I tried to make a joke, but my chin wobbled.
Zon reached out a hand, allowing the shower of pale pink sparkles to flow between his fingers.
“Be careful! Remember what Rez’s beast said about taking in too much of my magic?” I warned.
“I remember,” Zon replied, turning toward me with glowing eyes. He stalked toward me, like a tiger hunting its prey. “He also said that sex was a great way to release it.”
“That part might have been a lie since sex is mostly what caused the current problem.” I motioned at the dome, my cheeks burning.
“You’ve claimed your first human mate.” Rez circled Jack, eyeing his neck. “And your claiming mark is intricate. Well done, Ari.”
I hoped Jack was the only one. I was already worried about the surprise gifts grandma Tsufnu had planned for me. I certainly didn’t need to be adding my own. Honestly, I had doubts if I could handle the three I already had.
I watched Zon warily as he circled us. “Rez’s beast also said it was dangerous for you to be around so much of my magic.”
“He said it was dangerous if we were in a populated area where people could be injured if we lost control of our beasts and shifted. But it’s secluded here. There are no innocent bystanders to witness a shift or to become injured.” Zon grinned.
“If I explode, I could kill the three of you!” I protested.
Dropping to the sand in front of me, Zon’s mouth captured mine in a white-hot kiss. His fingers sank into my hair, holding me in place as his tongue delved into my mouth.
You taste incredible, and your magic is intoxicating. Let us enjoy this moment, Arizona. It’s so much magic,Zon pleaded.
“I’ve felt nothing like this in all my existence. Your taste is in the air, and your magic is teasing my skin,” Rez murmured, his mouth trailing kisses along my shoulder and arm. “I once read about a succubus who fed off the pleasure of men to survive. The men were happy to oblige because of how intense sex was with her. It was the best sex of your life, according to legend. In your case, it’s the opposite. It’s like the magic you create is an edible treat for those around you. Heightening our sensations and causing us to lust after you.”
“Are you saying my magic is a feel-good drug?” I really wasn’t thrilled about where this seemed to be going.
“I don’t know, but maybe. Only time will tell how it affects people who aren’t your mate. I just know I can’t get enough of it. It is almost as intoxicating as you are.” Rez was breathing hard just from kissing my shoulder. This could get interesting.
“Let us stay, Ari.” Zon kissed down my throat.
I hesitated, my body on fire from just their kisses. The thought of their mouths and hands exploring other parts of my body made my resolve to send them away waver. “If I let you stay, swear to me you will take Jack, Rez, and Albert away from here if things go wrong.”
I saw the hesitation in his eyes and, with effort, shook my head. “If you can’t promise me that, then it’s no deal. I have to know that you guys will be safe if you decide to follow through with this experiment. It is my final offer. Take it or leave it.” I wanted him to agree because my body had begun to vibrate with magic and need. What would it feel like to make love with this much of my wild magic enhancing every sensation?
“Agreed.” Zon’s jaw clenched. He wasn’t happy about the possibility of being forced to leave me, but he would do as I asked.
That settled, I focused on my magic, trying to use it purposefully to reach out to Zon’s mind and his mind only. I needed to speak with him without the chance of Rez overhearing.
Zon? I know you understand Rez, probably better than he understands himself. I’m going to claim Rez before you, and I need you to know it’s not because he matters more to me, but because he needs to be the first dino mate. He needs that reassurance.
Zon’s eyes widened. You’re in my mind.
Yes.
You blocked Rez?
Yes. I needed a chance to explain things to you without him hearing.
Babe, this skill is way beyond your abilities. The Vazi weren’t known for their abilities with telepathy, so how are you better than most benders at it? Zon looked a little freaked out.
Fine. Let’s add it to my ever-growing list of weird quirks. Do you understand, Zon? I can’t stand the idea of hurting you. One of you has to be claimed before the other.
Stop worrying. You are making the right decision. Rez will treasure being your first dino mate. I’d rather wait my turn so that I can take all the time I want.Zon flashed me a wicked smile that had my body clenching with need.
Giving Zon one more kiss, I turned my full attention to Rez. Sliding off Jack’s lap, I shoved Rez back on the sand and crawled up his body. Reaching his head, I pressed my hands to either side of Rez’s face and kissed him as though it were the last kiss I’d ever have. I poured every ounce of emotion I had into the dance of my tongue against his.
